Minnesota Vikings defensive line coach Chris Rumph has accepted the same position at Clemson University. The move was announced on Monday morning by Clemson.
Rumph joined the Vikings for Kevin O’Connell’s first season in 2022 and help coach up the defensive line to success beyond their talent. He entered 2023 as the defensive line coach as well, but went on a personal leave of absence back in October.
Assistant defensive line coach Pat Hill has been handling the duties of Rumph while he was on his leave of absence. He will likely continue those duties over the rest of the season.
Rumph returning to the college game shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, especially Clemson. Rumph served at Clemson in the same role from 2006-2010.
